1 Ishmael: Uh, you don’t need to make the pizzas naked! Exposure means people will taste your pizzas and come here to buy them.
2 Giuseppe: But everyone in town already comes here to buy pizzas.
2 Ishmael: They’ll buy more pizzas!
3 Giuseppe: I can’t make any more pizzas!
3 Ishmael: Why not?
4 Giuseppe: Because you’re always in here talking to me instead of delivering the pizzas!

I cook pizzas occasionally for dinner, but I've always cheated and bought pre-made pizza bases from the supermarket, which I then top with tomato sauce, cheese, and whatever toppings we're having that night.^[1]

But since I've been getting into baking my own bread since late last year, I figure maybe I should try my hand at making my own pizza dough. This is the week (as I type this) - I bought toppings but no pre-made bases.

[1] Popular toppings at my place include:

• Pumpkin, walnuts, feta, and finely chopped chilli pepper (or dried chilli flakes). I make this more than any other topping.
• Thin potato slices and rosemary.
• Spinach and pine nuts and feta.
• Mixed mushrooms: shiitake, button, enoki, oyster.
• Crispy roasted potato and pumpkin chunks with roasted garlic
• Pesto (instead of the tomato sauce), with any of the above.
